Show #126: Urban Square

Another one-off OAV
from that magical era when they'd animate anything, Urban Square is a
loving homage to action movie conventions with a welcome pinch of
self awareness, sporting an impressive pedigree featuring some of
anime's best creative talent. Unlike many of its contemporaries which
mindlessly rehashed the plots of bigger and better works here can be
seen much more care and appreciation that wears its inspirations like
a warming, familiar blanket.
